Abundance is how we live in each moment — the choice to be open, the choice to entertain the possibility that we can have, create, and attract what we truly want.

Most of us start out believing that love can transform our lonely existence into something better.  When that doesn’t work out as hoped for or planned, do we dare dream again?  I say YES!

As the years go by, most of us slowly realize that love is what matters most.  Love is what we all seek. The experience of love is vital to healing and wholeness.  In a world filled with sadness, misunderstandings, and unfairness, love is our chance to feel a little less alone.

No one can buy that marvelous feeling of unconditional acceptance, loyalty, trust and caring.  Rich or poor, we have to find it for ourselves.  Most go in search of romantic love with one gigantic, unacknowledged obstacle standing squarely in their way, difficult memories of past loves that went horribly wrong.  Most know all too well that love can be cruel.

How do you get past early disillusioning experiences that stand solidly in your path to ever believing in love again?  How do you get to the point where you can fully acknowledge past negative or destructive relationships, thank them for all they have taught you, and then feel certain you have removed their power over your future?

How do we find the courage to open to love again, when our mind is filled with memories of a painful past?

These are the answers I had to find for myself when I lost my way ten years ago.  I so wanted to still believe in love, but I realized my past experiences threatened that belief.  I really had no reason to believe, and if I didn’t, what was the point of going in search of love again?

We must each find the faith inside that love and abundance is still out there and will transform our lives, before it can ever happen.  That is what I learned through my own experiences, and what I share in my book How To Believe In Love Again: Opening to Forgiveness, Trust and Your Own Inner Wisdom.
